Lot Information

Lot 1

The first Social Housing Emerging Disrupters (SHED) Framework Agreement was launched in January 2022, comprising 18 innovative solutions. The aim was to create a framework of innovation permitting start-ups, small and medium sized businesses and the voluntary sector as well as established larger companies to offer their innovative products and services to the public sector. To reflect the emerging nature of innovation, a second SHED Framework (SHED 2) was procured in 2022 with 20 suppliers appointed to provide services and SHED 3 was launched with 21 suppliers in January 2024. This procurement has been for SHED 4. The solution will enable PfH Members to select the most economically advantageous tender according to their specific requirements across a range of products and services that offer real and innovative benefit to the housing and wider public sector. The framework will provide successful suppliers with the opportunity to promote their innovation and will allow fledgling markets to test their true potential, providing the foundations for success and wider adoption across the public sector. The Framework Agreement will operate on a national basis, providing an offering suitable for members of PfH in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and other public bodies permitted to use this Framework Agreement.
